(verso, CC, black ink) 1984/ Dear Friends, Hope you like this picture. I call it: "Adam and Eve in the Garden". This is the 4th Adam + Eve picture I have done (The other 3 are about half this size or less, and one of them is painted on a piece of china. Everyone seems to like my Adam + Eve pictures and I enjoy doing them a lot more than some of the others.) If you want to read the story, get out your Bible and read Genesis Chapter 3. Sincerely, Rodney Charles Hardee 1626 PINETOP DRIVE LAKELAND, FLA. 33805 Ph. 813- 858- 1057 FLAT PAINTING NUMBER 48; (verso, LL, black ink) JESUS LOVES YOU (with drawing of a cross and two flowers on either side); (verso, CR, U edge, black ink) drawing of night sky with clouds/ stars and palm tree below
